<r> Such an unforgiving game. I restarted playing scen 19. Using the tips from this thread I felt like I was doing very well. I spot several Jap cv tfs near Bunta and a lone CV group near Guadalcanal. Using a fast reaction CV TF I set up in Lungavilla, I try hit the lone carrier group only to fall ...

I saw Deighton's books at the local used bookstore today, so I'll probably go back and buy those. Though an account of a single German fighter squadron sounds very interesting, too. So, I'll look for it also.

Thanks for the suggestions.

<t> I just finished Eric Bergerud's Fire in the Sky and would like to read an equivalent book, if there is such an animal, for the European air war. Or perhaps specific parts of the air war in Europe, such as the Battle of Britain. Like Fire in the Sky, I'm more interested in a book that tells me ...

<t> Another question has cropped up. I started receiving HQ units. Such as the II Amphib, I Corps, I Aus Corps, 5th AF, etc.<br/>
<br/>
None of my units are attached to these corps, so how can I tell which units will receive a proximity bonus from their presence? I assume II Amphib is Marine units ...

<t> Thanks, Roguesmc.<br/>
<br/>
Final couple of questions for awhile.<br/>
<br/>
1) I set up an AV on non-base island and had a Catalina squadron fly from there for naval search purposes. However, now it's showing that half the squadron is damaged and the other half are in reserve with no ...

<t> On the aircraft data screen it shows my Beaufort's utilizing a torpedo, however during the naval attack sequence they drop 500lb bombs. Is this a bug?<br/>
<br/>
Also, it was mentioned previously that my CAP should be +1,000ft from the attack they will intercept. The Japanese consistently send ...

<t> I'm reading Herbie Goes Bananas. Is that a good one of his to read?<br/>
<br/>
Also, is there any way to avoid/reduce system damage, such as not moving during thunder storm days? And given no pressing matters at what level of sys damage is it wise to send the ships into dock to repair the ...

<t> The tips given in this thread did wonders for me last night. Even my P30s finally served a purpose when they chewed up a Japanese DD with their 37mm cannons and long-range attacks on Australia have been curtailed.<br/>
<br/>
I enjoy reading AARs so I'll seek out Wobbly's. <br/>
<br/>
Thanks ...

<r> Thanks for the responses. I'll try out the P-39s on a naval warfare role tonight. I messed around with skip bombing last night, but their air commander unfortunately picked the TF with several destroyers and cruisers instead of the lightly defended AP transport at Buna. It wasn't pretty. <E ...

<t> Thanks, Lobaron. I'll try out your tips tonight. If possible could you clarify something. You mentioned fast transport to PM early in the game. Is that utilizing the small loads on destroyers and cruisers or do you mean 18 speed APs?<br/>
<br/>
As for skip bombing, the manual says crews above ...

<t> Bought this game a couple of years ago and for various reasons never even loaded it up on my computer. But since picking up Fire in the Sky last week I was inspired to tackle the game, loaded it up, and haven't had much sleep since. What a game!<br/>
<br/>
A couple of questions.<br/>
<br/>
I ...
